Measurement lines a bit off but otherwise a great addition to any cook's kitchen
I really like the type of plastic this is made from -- that is, the kind that is flexible enough it will not break. It also does not stain easily. First thing I put in it was fresh beet-carrot juice and it barely left a tinge of color.
It's not as good as they used to be -- probably because no longer manufactured at the original location. The "problem" is that the measurements are a bit askew or off balance. I tried to double-check on three different level surfaces where my vintage glass measuring cups show a perfectly level water height to the markings on the cup. However, with this 4-cup plastic measuring cup, all of the measurements are a bit slanted. In the case of the cup I purchased for instance if I put in 4 cups of water. The water level comes to just the bottom of the numeral 4 on the cup on the left -- but if you look to the right side of the lines marking, by the time the water gets to the end of the line the water level appears to be a full ounce LOWER than 4 cups.
But that's okay. I just know to always look to the "foot" of each cup number for the best accuracy in measurement. I'm not complaining however because the cup gets 5 stars in every other feature. If you can get one made in the U.S. get it. The one I got was imported from China to Canada and then to the U.S.
